Wow, that is truly one of the nicest specced Performantes that I have seen.

Congrats, and the very best of luck with it.
Lol, no offense but it's a standard black car with yellow accents. It's a nice spec but not the nicest spec'd Perfs.

Opinions are like assh*les... everyone has one... no offence taken!

In my opinion this is the nicest specced Perfomante I have seen... the reason being that it is subtle, compared to most Performantes that I have seen. I’m not a fan of bright colour cars, and most Lambos are quite bright so it is refreshing to see a more subtle Performante.

Again, just my opinion :-)

Performantes benefit from looking good in pretty much every color. I haven't seen one that I thought was in a nasty color, and I'm definitely not a fan of the SE30 Purple.

That being said, I feel the whole "bright green" Lamborghini was slightly overdone, and that was my only other option for an unregistered, brand new car. Just thought this spec was a whole lot more interesting, what with the black paint and bronze rims. Always wanted a car with bronze rims.

Wish I could take credit for it, but it was spec'd by the Mike at Lamborghini Bristol. Still is very eye catching in a different way than a perf in a bright color. Definitely growing on me in a way a bright green car can't.

Couple of more pictures to share the excitement -

Looks great! I bought the same but the Spyder version (from Bristol), registered last month, had it 3 weeks.... absolutely amazing, enjoy your car!

If exhaust note is one of key factors that drive you to Lambo, then you should really listen to EVO exhaust yourself before making a decision. With GPFs, the sound feels muted (but not as bad as turbo). There was not any Performante in the launch event so cannot compared directly but EVO definitely sounded quieter than Performante. Also GPF's impact on power is still uncertain, which normally reduces 20-30hp (but official spec still shows 640 at the moment).

I went from 720s to Performante. Performante is more useable IMO, you can drive safely in wet conditions, 720s is a livewire :-) Both great cars, love Mclaren, hate the brand experience. Performante sounds a lot lot better.

Congratulations it looks great, I dealt with Mike in Bristol as well for the purchase of mine, he is a top bloke along with Andrew Ford.

What a great feeling - your car looks amazing!

I recognise that location - the only place in the factory that they'll let you use your camera! Was the car covered with a tight-fitting Lambo-branded car cover when you arrived?

Good spot! Yes I had the factory visit and they pulled my car off the end of the line so I could see it before it was shipped to the UK. Did you do the same then?

Picked her up today from Grange in Chelmsford.
